The Show physical VSP bus adapters check box is disabled (dimmed) in the focussed view;
you cannot change the Show physical host bus adapters state until you return to the original

The utilization meter (bar graph) displays storage I/O throughput data, if available. The data
is a 5-minute average that is calculated and updated on 5-minute boundaries. If the data
cannot be displayed, the meter is dimmed (as in the meter underneath this one) and a label
indicates the probable cause. For a description of meter labels, see “Utilization meter
status/error information” (page 127). To view utilization history, click the appropriate meter.
These meters link to HP Capacity Advisor, which provides the utilization statistics. For more
information about using Virtual Server Manager to collect and view utilization data, see
Chapter 8 (page 113).
Using Virtual Server Manager with Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX, you can click a
meter to view a snapshot of Capacity Advisor historical data for storage I/O; this feature is
not provided when using Virtual Server Manager from HP SMH.

The orange horizontal line indicates by color coding that matching components are related.
This particular line links the virtual storage component to its corresponding physical storage
component. The orange vertical line to the right of the screen also indicates by color coding
that matching components are related. This line links two representations of the storage device,
one with the agile address and the other with the legacy address. The line indicates that they
are two different representations of the same physical device. Multiple representations are
displayed only if the Show physical host bus adapters check box is selected.
